Jefcoat has a quick release and can make those bullet passes over the middle. He clearly improved his stock and watch out for what happens in his recruiting even though he is currently committed to Louisiana Tech.

Jefcoat really impressed me on the first day of practice, especially on the short throws and the throws over the middle. In the All-Star game he was a great field general that did not make a mistake and it reflected in the outcome of the game.

Brown is the one guy at any time that can take one to the house. I saw it when he did it in the Mississippi state playoffs and he repeated the feat in the all-star game, taking a 12-yard pass 55 yards to the house and no one even touched him.

Hood may be small in stature but he can change directions on a dime. He even had the opportunity to cover Brown a few times in the game and looked very good despite the fact he was giving up close to 10 inches.

Honorable Mention: Lawrence

BEST SURPRISE: Smith

Smith was not a household name coming into this All-Star week. But after watching him pull on trap plays, and manhandle almost everyone in one-on-ones in practice it was evident that he has tremendous potential to compete at the highest level.

Honorable Mention: Hood

BEST RUSHER: Barksdale

Barksdale was by far the leading rusher in the All-Star game averaging 4.9 yards a carry. He also was the only back not tackled for a loss that had more than five carries in the game.

Whether it is the game or on the practice field, no one is safe from Harris. Why was hitting so hard when his teammates where not in full pads?

"If they have a helmet on or any pads I'm going to hit them like it is a game full speed," he said.

Honorable Mention: Smith

STOCK RISING: Lawrence

Lawrence is probably the hottest commodity after his strong performance in practice. He followed that up in the game, showing not only is he a tall corner but he can go 96 yards to the house on a pick six.

Scott has that natural ability to catch punts and kickoffs effortlessly. He was very exciting to watch all week in practice. He averaged 33-yards a kickoff return in the game. I just wish the Alabama team could have found more ways to get the ball in his hands.
